Trinity Episcopal School Middle School World Languages Curriculum We believe the purpose of the World Languages curriculum is to prepare students to communicate successfully in a pluralistic American society and increasingly interconnected global community. Our K-8 curriculum aims to provide Trinity students the ability to obtain conversational proficiency in familiar situations. Across the world languages curriculum, students will: understand and interpret foreign languages in various contexts (writing, reading, listening, and speaking); provide and obtain information, express feelings and emotions, and exchange opinions; identify and appreciate differences between their own and other countries; take risks, persevere, and think critically in learning another language; and use their acquisition of another language for personal enjoyment/enrichment and for future professional opportunities. *Please note that the curriculum overlaps in this transition year as we analyze the vertical alignment and predicted progress for the advancement of the Spanish program.
